Writing on the wall

I LOVEParis signs. I love the typography... I love what they say: mille-feuilles, tarte fine aux pommes. Cheescake I could do without. I love seeing the hours written in script on the door, but I don't love showing up and they're ferme/closed.Patisserie Secco decided to repaint their doggie on the wall. Why? Were the neighbors upset to lose the old doggie?

I can not resist reading these authorized bread prix lists. I have no idea why? This one - Gerard Mulot's vitrine.

Self-explanatory.

This not-so-little piggy read the writing on the vitrine and is about to enter. He hesitates. A few doors down Patisserie Gerard Mulot, where you can easily make a pig of yourself.With this enticing sign in the window. Which would you choose?

Thanks to your wonderful blog I am on my way home from Paris with a few of those delightful pastries in my bag. I cannot believe those sparkling macarrons in the windows have lost their appeal, can you say oink!
